    We were members of AARP for a bit, until we found out their political stance. It disagreed with ours so we dropped it.

    For those who might be curious, were did you find the info on AARP's political stances?

    This may be off-topic but here is something i found on the AARP site.

    It is off-topic but that page is an eye-opener. Thanks for posting it.

    Looking around their site I found also: https://www.aarp.org/food/

    Which contains some nice recipes as well as links to a list of AARP
    member discounts at various restaurants and Notels.

    Title: Spicy Asparagus Stir-Fry
    Categories: Vefetables, Herbs, Chilie
    Yield: 4 servings

    1 1/2 lb Pencil-thin or medium
    - asparagus
    2 tb Oil
    Salt & pepper
    1 ts Grated or minced garlic
    1 ts Grated fresh ginger
    1 Serrano or jalapeno chile;
    - seeded, fine chopped
    2 ts Toasted sesame oil
    3 Scallions, slivered
    2 Red Fresno chilies; thin
    - sliced in rings
    1 ts Toasted sesame seeds
    Handful of cilantro sprigs

    Snap off tough bottom ends of asparagus and discard. Cut
    spears into 2" pieces (halve thicker pieces lengthwise).

    Set wok or wide skillet over medium-high heat and add
    vegetable oil. When oil is hot, add asparagus and toss
    well to coat.

    Season well with salt and pepper and stir-fry for 1
    minute or so, then add garlic, ginger and serrano chili.

    Continue stir-frying for another minute, until asparagus
    is cooked but still firm and bright green.

    Transfer cooked asparagus to platter. Next, drizzle with
    sesame oil.

    Sprinkle with scallions, red Fresno chili rings and
    sesame seeds. Garnish with cilantro sprigs and serve.

    Hello Dave,

    [..]

    This may be off-topic but here is something i found on the AARP site.

    https://states.aarp.org/aarps-policy-political-partisan-activity

    It is off-topic but that page is an eye-opener. Thanks for posting it.

    Since the AARP is not a political organisation and is non-partisan,
    there is nothing off-topic about it. Especially the link showing its
    own policy in that regard.

    Looking around their site I found also: https://www.aarp.org/food/

    There is much to like about their site. Not just food.

    Which contains some nice recipes as well as links to a list of AARP
    member discounts at various restaurants and Notels.

    One does not have to be a member to enjoy their site.

    For Life,
    Lee

    My husband did the research on it so I just asked him. He said that
    it's been so long since he did the research, he couldn't remember where
    he got the information. If nothing else, I'd suggest you check their
    web site. Sorry I can't help you more.

    You should go to this web site and check out AARP's stance on politics

    https://states.aarp.org/aarps-policy-political-partisan-activity

    From them, not from some entity with an axe to grind. They're as close
    to apolitical as this echo is *supposed* to be.

    Title: Politically Correct Balkan Pljeskavica
    Categories: Pork, Grains, Cheese, Herbs, Chilies
    Yield: 4 Servings

    1 lb (440g) ground pork
    1 lg Egg
    1 tb Cracked wheat, bulgur, flour
    - or bread crumbs
    1/2 c Chopped mushrooms
    1/2 c Grated "yellow" cheese
    1/2 c Crumbled feta
    Splash of beer
    Paprika, salt & pepper
    1 ts Chile powder
    1/4 ts Dried oregano or chubritsa
    2 tb Chopped fresh dill; (the key
    - ingredient)
    Onions & garlic are optional

    * kashkaval cheese if can get it

    A kind reader passed along ths, which, he says is a hybrid
    of the pljeskavica he found in Serbia (where it is best), in
    Macedonia (where they claim to have invented it), and in
    Bulgaria (where he lives). In Serbia and Macedonia they like
    to serve it as a giant flat communal burger, he says, so it
    can be spread on a baking pan, baked until it turns slightly
    pink, and the put on the grill.

    Pljeskavica is traditionally served with a salad of chopped
    tomatoes and cucumbers with feta, salt and oil, fresh bread,
    and "of course," Balkan (or even Czech) plum brandy. It may
    also be served with djuvec rice.

    Mix the ingredients together in a large bowl. Make
    individual patties or one large one.

    Cook on a grill, a grill pan, a frying pan, or under the
    broiler.
